A worksheet based on the alphabet and developing understanding of alphabetical order.

A worksheet with different exercises to show understanding of verbs and how to use them.

A simple worksheet in which children need to recognise and use action words.

This is a worksheet with a variety of grammar and spelling activities. It could be given as a test, or it could be an activity for children to work on when they have spare time. Some of the tasks will take longer than others.

I use the book The Ghost of Thomas Kempe by Penelope Lively as a class reader. I have made up these question sheets for each chapter of the book to help my Year 5/6 class to complete their reading logs as many of them find the language of the book quite difficult to understand. I have also attached the review and cover design sheets which I use.

This is an idea for creative writing which encourages the children to plan their work and then to draft it.

This idea is based on Desert Island Discs. The children can choose 5 books to read whilst stranded on a desert island. They need to justify their choices. You could adapt the worksheet to change the number of books if you want to broaden the childrens' choice.

This is a test that I have used to assess progress of year 5/6 children midway through the year. It covers areas of English grammar that they will have studied in the previous 4 months. There is a full answer sheet.

This is a test that I have used with Year 5/6 students reviewing many aspects of English grammar that they will have studied during the year.

I photocopy these sheets back to back, mount them on card and laminate them. I cannot take credit for the idea, but I have used them often over the years. It is a great way to encourage children to reflect upon their work and to help their friends to improve their writing. The idea can be used for any type of creative writing activity.

I use these line guides to enable children to write neat copies of poems and short pieces of prose onto plain A4 paper. The line guides are placed underneath the plain sheet, held in place by paper clips. They can be laminated to avoid children accidently writing on the guide!

I have used the reading log sheet for different class reading books. At the end of the book, the reading log requires children to design a new front cover, (with blurb) and to review the book. I use the two review sheets printed on two sides of a piece of paper so that the children can have their cover design and review together.

This is a template of a picnic basket which can be used for children to plan their own lunch following on from reading The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch. They can either draw the items in their basket or write them depending upon age and ability levels.

These two worksheets provide an introduction to the rules for turning singular nouns into plurals with some simple exercises to practise. The class can then reinforce their learning with more follow-up activities.

These are two simple worksheets which encourage handwriting skills and can then be coloured in. The sheets are differentiated with more complex patterns on one than the other.

This is a reading log to use with a class reading book. I laminate them and they can then be used with any book that the class reads together. I have used it with year 5 and 6 classes. More able students can work independently whilst others can receive more help and guidance, e.g. providing questions to help them find the main events in chapters.
